On Saturday, October 18 at 3:00 pm, the department will celebrate Mr. Baron in a program of music, reminiscences by students and colleagues, and excerpts from PBS’s documentary “In Search of Bach.” Historian and New York Flute Club Archivist Nancy Toff, Stony Brook colleague and pianist Gilbert Kalish, and flutist (and Baron student) Tara O’Connor will speak about Baron; a panel of colleagues and another panel of students will reminisce about him; and there will be performances of music beloved by him, including Bach arias, selections from Bach’s Art of Fugue, and music commissioned by or for Baron, including Eldin Burton’s Sonatina for Flute and Piano, commissioned by Baron, and a movement of Joseph Schwanter’s Looking Back, commissioned by students in memory of Baron. The event will conclude with a performance of the last movement of Brahms’s Piano Quartet in G minor, in Baron’s arrangement for woodwind quintet.
